Over 30 years of retirement, Popenhagen would collect as much as $420,756, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

After 4 years of retirement, Popenhagen will have already received $36,998 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
